I stayed in the maisonette suite with my husband this May and had a very lovely stay. The room was laid out over two floors (never had two toilets in a hotel room before!) and very stylishly designed though the bedroom is a bit average compared to the rest of the room Breakfast was very good, nice choice for most...

Hotel I'm Wasserturm is indeed a special place, and was very nicely decorated for Christmas time. The room was quite small and nothing special, while the shower was a huge stylish rain shower and somewhat compensated for the room. However, a major inconvenience spoiled the stay for us: it was vey cold in our room, the heating could not be... More

Esthetically this hotel is AMAZING. The idea that it was designed from an old water tower it just awesome. Probably one of the best steaks I've had in the "W" restaurant in the hotel. However, b/c of the shape of the hotel there is NO air circulation through the window in the room, even with it wide open. The thermostat... More

Wasserturm hotel is as it translates built in a old water tower. This is a quite charming idea and from an architectural perspective interesting. It also means the building is round, which can be a bit confusing to orient oneself before one gets used to it. Rooms are fresh but a bit strangely laid out, where the bathroom has two... More

A stunning piece of architecture, an old water tower imaginitively restored into a 5* hotel and retaining the original structure. Having said that is this a 5* hotel? definitely not. The public areas are outstanding in this unique style with lots of original brickwork from its former years but the bedrooms are tired and need an update particularly the bathrooms... More

Visited this "5 star" hotel during a trade fair in Cologne. As always, photos make the hotel look great, and on arrival the unique design does impress. reception is very smart and staff very polite. We were given a tour round the circular ground floor in order to get our barings of what is where - all very positive. When... More

We stayed at Hotel Im Wasserturm when visiting for the Christmas Markets and I really did like it. It's beautiful, with amazing arches and brick hallways, and great panoramic views of the city. I love that every time I walked in I felt like there was something new to see in the hotel. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas, as... More

We stayed for a few days here and thought the building was very niclely restored. The architechture was creative and the rooms comfortable and well laid out. The temperature in the room cannot be controlled individually and they could not seem to get it cool enough for us. In November we had fans on and windows open to be cool... More

Unusual hotel. One of the small luxury hotels of the world. Elegantly furnished, very comfortable & the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is very good with a lot of choice with healthy options!
